  • Our take on the Red/Black Lava Lamp

    This is the classic Lava Lamp motion lamp in its most popular size: a 14.5-inch glass globe with black wax moving through red liquid, topped and based in reflective chrome-treated aluminum. It runs on a 25W appliance bulb that gives off soft, warm light while the wax splits and drifts for a retro look. It suits desks, shelves and side tables where a small ambient light is wanted. Against modern LED mood lights it trades app control and instant-on for the original analog look, and it needs a 2-3 hour warm-up before the wax starts flowing.

    About the Red/Black Lava Lamp

    This lava lamp is the classic motion lamp in its most popular size. It gives off a soft, warm light. Black wax rises, splits, collides and sinks inside a glass globe filled with red liquid.

    The globe sits on an aluminum base with a matching cap. Both have a silver, reflective chrome-treated finish. The lamp uses a 25W appliance bulb and plugs into a standard wall outlet.

    After plugging it in, wait 2-3 hours for the wax to begin flowing. Run the lamp no more than 10 hours at a time. Let it cool completely before handling.

    Questions and answers

    How long does it take to start flowing?
    About 2-3 hours after plugging in. The wax needs that long to heat and begin moving.
    Can I leave it on all day?
    No. Run it no more than 10 hours at a time, then let it cool completely before handling it.
    What bulb does it use?
    A 25W appliance bulb, which is included. The bulb provides the heat that moves the wax as well as the light.
    Is it the same as the larger lava lamps?
    It is the most popular size at 14.5 inches tall and 20 oz. Larger models have bigger globes and slower, broader wax movement.
    What comes in the box?
    The glass globe, aluminum base and cap, a 25W appliance bulb, and a plug for a standard wall outlet.
    Does it need any assembly?
    Minimal. Set the globe on the base, fit the cap and bulb, and plug it in. No tools or special setup are needed.
    Where is the Red/Black Lava Lamp cheapest?
    At Exploratorium, for $40.00, as of our latest check.
